Summary
At the end of the station, next to the wrought-iron gates, is a single solitary streetlamp. It’s nowhere near dark enough to have been lit yet, but there’s a softness radiating from the frosted glass that almost makes Jack want to laugh; a wet and rickety station makes a disappointing Narnia. He squints at the faded old sign attached to the lamppost, embedded into the curling, winding metal as if it’d grown around it.
Manhattan
West Virginia-
Deep within the Appalachian Mountains, south of Monongahela and a little to the left of nowhere, lies a town that doesn't exist. This is convenient, because Jack's not sure he exists either.

Summary
“Jack, my hands are full. I’m sure there are plenty of nice girls around town who want your stolen flowers.”
Davey has a talent for disguising his maybe’s. He’s no liar – one of the house stewards tried to teach him poker a while back, but even Davey knows his tells are beyond counting – so he makes a game out of it, a puzzle, finding that perfect angle where the truth is just hidden enough for him to get by.
“Well, I ain’t wantin’ for nice girls, so I guess I’ll hold onto them for ya.”
Jack has a talent for seeing right through him.

Summary
“So – what, you're saying my schoolmates want to talk to me now because I sell newspapers?”
“No, Davey,” Katherine sighs like a teacher with a particularly slow student. “I’m saying that girls want to talk to you now because you were in the newspaper.”
Of all the ways ways Davey had imagined the aftermath of the strike going, this was one outcome he hadn’t planned for.

Davey gets noticed. Unrelated, Davey takes up running.

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

mike wheeler's guide to falling in love with a superhero by smoosnoom (moonsooms)

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.- Language:

Summary
"I don't know if we deserve it," Kevin breathes.
"Deserve what?" Connor shifts where he lays to get a good look at Kevin. His dark hair is even darker, soaked with water, and Connor watches a few droplets drip from the strands and roll off of his jaw.
He looks beautiful, is all that he manages to think in the moment, even as he tries to shove it down and let it rot away. He can’t. Not when Kevin’s giving him a sideways glance with his pretty brown eyes and tanned skin and such a soft look on his face. He can’t possibly not think the sight is beautiful.
Kevin turns to him as well. They're very close now—Connor can almost feel Kevin's breath on his skin. "Love..."
—
or, a canon-divergent mcpriceley fic where kevin and connor meet three years prior to uganda... in a conversion camp. eventually, they re-unite and have a lot to face after the time spent apart has changed them both.

the great big mystery of mike wheeler's no good, very bad, terrible feelings by smoosnoom (moonsooms)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
27 Apr 2023

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.Bookmarked by patchyshack

Summary
The Byers were staying at Hopper’s new place indefinitely or at least for the summer (and Mike had a plan):
Mike’s Plan for His Weird “Feelings” (and other unsaid things)
1. Everything is fine.
2. Will's face or otherwise broad shoulders have no effect on him
3. He does not want to taste Will’s lips.
4. He will spend the next week being very normal around his best friend, and spend an all-together very pleasant time.
5. Because: everything is fine, he is a self-functioning, intelligent person.or alternatively: mike wheeler attempts to not be an idiot in front of will as his half-assed plan falls apart as he stays with them for a week.

Summary
“You’re back,” Mike states as his wide eyes catch Will’s.
Will just tilts his head at him as he takes his seat. “Yeah, I said I would be.”
“Right, obviously,” Mike mutters before stabbing his chicken sandwich with his toothpick.
“What?” Will asks despite every inkling in his body telling him to drop this conversation and just pick up his burger. “Did you think I was just going to leave?”
“No, I-”
“Because I wouldn’t just…” Will cuts himself off before he can finish and looks down at his plate instead, the unsaid words resting bitter on his tongue. I wouldn’t just leave with no explanation. Not like you did.
----------After everything they've been through, it is Mike who rips off the final band-aid of their friendship. Years pass of Will pretending like he never thinks about Mike at all. Years pass of him forging his own life and finally letting go.
But when a young boy shows up at Will's apartment, it becomes clear that he'll never fully be done with Mike Wheeler.
